About Resource 2 Success

What is R2S?

Established in 2023, Resource 2 Success is dedicated to supporting incoming students within the WSU community by providing them with the technological resources required for them to successfully graduate from WSU.

Program Initiative

Our primary initiative involves partnering with several on campus organizations to identify and supply qualified students with laptops/Chromebooks as well as technical support for the devices.

Established need

Purchasing a laptop is often a necessary and costly expense that many Freshmen must make before setting foot in the classroom. We are hoping to remove that costly barrier to continuing education for as many students as we can.
